...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 831 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024

We saw more great weather today and that will continue into the
overnight. Drier air is in place and with mainly clear skies
tonight it will be on the chilly side with lows falling into the
low to mid 50s with maybe even some upper 40s on the Plateau. Some
patchy fog will be possible mainly to the east of Nashville. More
great weather tomorrow!

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024

Beautiful and quite comfortable day for late May across the
midstate with partly to mostly cloudy skies, current temperatures
in the upper 60s and 70s, and pleasant dewpoints in the 50s. This
nice and quiet weather looks to continue through Friday thanks to
a surface high pressure ridge centered over the Great Lakes and
northwest flow aloft. Tonight will be quiet cool and almost chilly
in some areas as lows drop into the upper 40s on the Plateau and
low to mid 50s elsewhere. With light winds, mostly clear skies,
and low dewpoint depressions expected, some patchy fog is also
likely by sunrise. Thursday and Thursday night look to be a near
carbon-copy of today/tonight with highs in the 70s to low 80s,
lows in the upper 40s and 50s, and pleasant RH. Friday looks to be
a bit warmer as a weak upper ridge builds northward from the Gulf
Coast, with highs reaching the mid 70s to mid 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1200 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024

Our weather pattern becomes warmer, humid, and more unsettled
from Friday night through the rest of the forecast period as
upper flow becomes more amplified aloft and deeper gulf moisture
returns from the southwest. This should allow for widely
scattered and mainly diurnal showers and a few thunderstorms to
develop each day, a more typical summertime-like pattern, with
slight to chance pops warranted. Not seeing any notable signal
for potential strong or severe storms, but higher PWATs and
stronger wind fields early next week on the 12Z GFS might allow
for some stronger storms if those model trends continue. Rainfall
totals over the next 7 days will vary considerably across the
midstate, but in general a half inch to an inch is anticipated
for most locations. Temperatures will also warm well into the 80s
areawide throughout the extended period, with dewpoints also
increasing into the 60s/70s, making it quite humid outdoors.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 612 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024

Quiet weather continues. VFR conditons are expected but some
patchy fog is possible for the eastern terminal between 08 and 12z
and may bring MVFR conditions at times. Mid to high level clouds
this evening will clear overnight with them building back in
tomorrow afternoon. Northerly winds under 8 knots.
